Singular possessives are formed by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of a noun. For example:
There are two accepted forms for possessive singular nouns ending in s:
Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word; for example, "Put it on the boss' desk."
Add an apostrophe s ('s) after the existing s at the end of the word; for example, "Put it on the boss's desk."
For plural nouns that end in -s, the possessive are formed by adding an apostrophe after the existing -s (s'); for irregular plural nouns that don't end with -s, the possessive is formed by adding the apostrophe s ('s), the same as for singular nouns. for example:
No, he is not possessive. The possessive form would be his.
